Suomi NPP overflew the convection shortly after the tornadoes were on the ground in Louisiana, and images from the three spectral bands shown below, 11.45 µm, 0.64 µm and 1.61 µm show a mature convective system with overshooting tops over the Gulf Coast states and the Gulf of Mexico. The 1.61 µm Snow Ice band helps in the discrimination between cloud tops comprised of water droplets (bright white) vs. cloud tops comprised of ice crystals (grey); the ABI on GOES-16 has a similar band.
